When we returned from El Salvador I shared a whole bunch of photos with all of you which I had taken while we were there. However, I still have some interesting photos that don’t fit easily into a category – Today I share those “random” photos with you.

This was the passenger in front of us in line while we waited to board our flight home. A family in the United States is going to eat Pollo Campero for dinner. (Note that the bag has a photo of the cathedral before it was destroyed a few months later.)

If I am not mistaken, the practice comes from disease prevention or the like. There was a substance they would “paint” onto tree trunks in the same manner and they helped deter insects and/diseases. That’s my vague recollection of the reasons for it. It is not paint as far as I know, but it might be in the case of your pic.

Yes, usually it’s a white paint containing lime that’s painted on trees to prevent disease and insects but in el Salvador, while this may have been how it originated, it’s become so wide spread that even the bottoms of non wooden posts are painted as a sign of cleanliness!!

Oh and for donuts… funny story but apparently Thai people are crazy about them. See, I don’t eat donuts, don’t really pay attention to them. They don’t exist in France and they aren’t that popular in Canada it seems (I see more Canadians eating cookies for instance).

But when we were in Thailand, you wouldn’t have believe the lineup at Dunkin Donuts. It was insane! People were queuing for hours. We mentioned that to a few people in Singapore and they noted it was a local things, S’pore people themselves like to bring back donuts to friends when they go to Thailand.

Funny when you think of it… donuts are just dough and sugar, right? Yet they are delicacies in some parts of the world! :lol:
